Article Synopsis
- Tuberculosis is making a resurgence globally, and in Morocco, it can lead to rare but serious conditions like common iliac artery aneurysms, which pose high risks of infection and bleeding, necessitating careful treatment planning.
- A case involving a 54-year-old man presented with skin necrosis and a pulsating groin mass was diagnosed with a false aneurysm caused by tuberculosis, leading to emergency surgery that successfully restored arterial function.
- Although mycotic aneurysms are uncommon, they can result from direct infection or bloodborne spread, and while treatment success rates can be good, the mortality from complications like ruptures remains significant, highlighting the need for effective management strategies.
